SERVICE INFORMATION

12M/01-1 RECALLS AND SERVICE CAMPAIGNS: WHEN REPAIRING ANY VEHICLE, ALWAYS CHECK THE VEHICLE MASTER INQUIRY FOR OPEN CAMPAIGNS

12M/01-2 GROUP 54 - MODEL 163, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER VERSION CODING: When checking the version coding of the Instrument Cluster (A1), the country code may be displayed as "invalid coding". This is caused by a default setting within the Star Diagnosis System (SDS); it does not indicate any fault and should not be reset. The SDS data will be corrected in a future update. Warranty claims for altering this version coding setting will be rejected or debited.
